SHIFT Happens ... Be Prepared to Move Quickly!

Scouting units from all over Southern California are encouraged to participate in the largest earthquake drill in American history.

To be prepared for the Great Southern California ShakeOut, scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey, along with the California Geological Survey, Southern California Earthquake Center, and nearly 200 other partners in government, academia, emergency response, and industry, have created a scenario of an earthquake that will certainly hit with in the next 30 years but could happen at any time. Community awareness and preparedness will be critical for the well-being of pre- and post-disaster recovery. To "be prepared" will make the difference between a disaster and a catastrophe.

We're asking your BSA local council to join Eagle ScoutParents of Southern California by logging on, signing in, and registering to be counted among the millions of other Californians as we learn how to "Be Prepared to Move Quickly." NOTE: Many of your Scouts are already registered through their schools but are not currently identified as Scouts or part of a Scouting unit.
